Got dry skin? Acne? Sensitive? All of the above? Tried CBD skincare?
The buzzy ingredient has evidently crossed over from the world of wellness to be a beauty must-have, but the reviews from those who’ve incorporated it into their skincare regime tell us we need to get on board, stat.
Coming to our winter skin rescue (because lord knows we need it), skincare brand Kloris has created a range of products to actively support stressed skin and help brighten and even skin tone, with the ingredient on everyone’s lips, CBD (cannabidiol), at the centre.
We’re sure you’ve come across the ingredient as a way to deal with anxiety or insomnia, or to alleviate period pains, perhaps, but many are now discovering the revelatory effects it can have on their skin.
As an anti-inflammatory ingredient, CBD has been touted for its ability to help reduce swelling, pain or redness from existing breakouts, regulate oil production, or help alleviate irritation caused by eczema or psoriasis.
But with many a product on the market claiming to contain CBD but, in fact, not containing a drop of it, here are the products which could have a major impact on your face.

Kloris’ CBD Superboost Face Oil, which is suitable for all genders, skin tones and skin types (hello to those with oily, dry or combination skin), is a great help for issues like skin redness and rosacea.
One shopper said it all but eradicated the dry patches from their face, while another said the oil had a ‘noticeable reduction in redness’ and sat well under makeup, and one mused it ‘works wonders for skin’.
‘All the fine lines on my face are much smoother and the dullness is totally gone! I’ve noticed my skin is now glowing and plumped, in a matter of weeks,’ another raved in reviews for the product, which claims to neutralise free radical damage.
CBD and skincare
Unlike ingesting orally (as you would CBD drops, for instance), when CBD is applied topically in skincare it reacts with our in-built endocannabinoid system.
Cannabinoid receptors are located throughout the body, as part of its endocannabinoid system, which helps balance a whole host of bodily functions like pain sensation, mood, memory and appetite.
Our bodies naturally produce endocannabinoids, which are the equivalent of those found in the cannabis plant – but often, we need a little boost.
Studies have indicated that CBD can have anti-inflammatory effects when applied to the skin, which could help soothe sensitive conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne.
It’s even claimed that topical CBD application can alleviate muscle soreness, as well as relieve sunburn and bug bites.
Research also suggests that CBD has the potential to decrease excess sebum (oil) production, which could assist in the reduction of spots, and it’s also thought to have antioxidant properties, which may help with fine lines and ageing.
In combination with the brand’s face and eye creams, you can customise hydration levels to suit your skin and climate. It feels like some sort of one-stop-shop…for your face.
When used together, the products aim to utilise the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of CBD, while natural actives like chaga mushroom claim to boost collagen alongside skincare favourites hyaluronic acid and squalane to hydrate and lock-in moisture.
Because let’s face it, with these chilly temperatures still hanging around, and what heating we’re daring to put on sapping what moisture we have left in our skin, we could do with something to lock it in and give us the glow we deserve.
